>In the world of FoxPro 2.6 for DOS I could memvars in my main startup prg and they would be avalable in all parts of my app. I am having trouble understanding how vars work in VFP. Is there any simple rule(s) or can anyone tell me of a good reference source? I would like to create them in the main prg and then change them in forms. I can't understand what I am doing wrong.

The simple rule that vars (except LOCAL) are obsolete. Public vars evolved to oApp (application object) properties, and private vars became object properties.
